Before anything would happen on Cayman Island, an enourmous amount of effort was spent to build planters and stock a container with supplies for the red mangrove nursery creation.
Construction of the Reef Ball "planters" for Red Mangroves was done by Reef Innovations, a Reef Ball Foundation authorized contractor, in St. Cloud, Florida. Since this project was operating on tight grant funding, manufacturing of the shippable sized Reef Balls was done in the US where costs were lower. These pictures are from this construction phase.
